I had about 2 acres of pretty good size fir logged out around my house- tired of mossy roof, damp in winter, but mostly got scared when we had a big wind storm- the four 30 inch diameter fir about 10 feet from the end of the house held fast, but it was more luck than management. We didn't want to risk it again- any one of those would have crushed the house.
We usually take them out with a D8 Cat and a stump splitter- but a friend who runs excavator said he had a better way. Rented a HUGE excavator- the biggest available. Would put a tooth on top of the stump, and rock the machine back and forth while putting the whole weight of it on that tooth. About 3/4 of them would split in the ground, then a pretty easy matter to pull out the pieces with the bucket and thumb, shake the dirt out and pile them. Even managed to burn the green stumps in the middle of a driving rainstorm, by finding pitchy pieces to start the fire- burned like diesel.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
